Don't believe everything you read. RA (and a lot of others, too) are full of hooey with some of their listings. They even list '66 Darts with 383s- no such animal ever existed (from the factory).
That's wrong. They don't list the correct brake rotors for my Barracuda either.
Thanks for this. Insider information is often the most useful.
A long time ago I learned how parts catalogs, and eventually the digital equivalents thereof, actually get written. It's mostly part-timers who have little to no automotive experience or even knowledge, but can type. A solid percentage of those people are/were full-time college students, who'd already had a full day at class and still probaby have studying ahead of 'em. They're paid by the entry, not by accuracy and generally aren't double-checked. Our system, as well those of O'Reilly, Advance, and Autozone, will occasionally ask you if a particular early 2000s Ford car has four-wheel drums! It's infuriating when you know better, and reveals the dumbass you are if you don't. You've probably been asked equally-stupid question. The computer asks. It's that bad.
I can't say for sure, but I carried a few Centric parts and got my first sets of A-body drums dirt cheap through work. None of the Centric stuff has superseded and I've yet to see anything FVP appear in the cataloguing, so like I said my hopes aren't real high. It's possible FVP is simply liquidating leftover Centric inventory they acquired.
The last time the drums were unavailable I was seriously considering doing rear discs. I did a good bit of research, and was going to use Jeep rear discs. It was winter, so I hadn't started junkyard shopping. Then the drums were available, so I got a pair and put the disc plans on hold.
